7–10 Split
A split is a situation in ten pin bowling in which the first ball of a frame knocks down the headpin ("number 1 bowling pin") but leaves standing two or more non-adjacent groups of one or more pins. Scoring a spare in this situation is often referred to as a "killer shot". A split is marked by highlighting the number of pins knocked down, mostly in red, on the scorescreen. Types 7–10 split One of the most infamous of splits is the 7–10 split, often called "goal posts", "bedposts", or "snake eyes", where the bowler is left with the leftmost and the rightmost pin in the back row (the ''number 7'' and ''number 10'') to knock down with a single ball to achieve a spare. This is also one of the most difficult splits to pick up. There are three ways to convert this split. The first is to strike either pin and have it bounce out of the pit area and strike the remaining pin. This not only requires substantial ball speed but the pin must be struck in the right spot.

Professional Bowlers Tour
The Professional Bowlers Tour, also known as Pro Bowlers Tour, is a broadcast of the Professional Bowlers Association that aired on ABC from 1962 to 1997. In the telecasts, sportscaster Chris Schenkel and the graphics displayed during the show would refer to the show as "The Professional Bowlers Tour", possibly to disambiguate from the NFL's use of the term "pro bowler" when referring to players who were selected for the Pro Bowl—an event also televised on ABC for many years. History Prior to the debut of the PBA on ABC television in 1962, most tournaments were organized where, once the cut was established after qualifying rounds, a set number of match-play games were bowled, and bonus pins were given to the winner of each match. The champion was then decided based on the final overall total pinfall. From 1962 to 1965, ABC started televising the PBA Tour, starting with a limited number of tournaments on ABC's '' Wide World of Sports'', and later having its own timeslot. Th ...

It is played with a handheld-sized bowling ball, ball and tall, narrow bowling pin, pins that resemble candles, hence the name. Comparison to ten-pin bowling As in other forms of pin bowling, players roll balls down a wooden or synthetic lane to knock down as many pins as possible. Differences between candlepin bowling and ten-pin bowling include: * Candlepin involves three rolls per frame, rather than two rolls as in ten-pin. * Candlepin balls are much smaller, being in diameter and have a maximum weight of They are almost identical in weight to a pin, as opposed to ten-pin balls whose maximum allowable weight is more than four times that of a pin. * No oil is applied to the lane, so the ball does not skid but rolls all the way down the lane. * Candlepin balls lack finger holes. * Candlepins are thinner ...

Pinochle
Pinochle (), also called pinocle or penuchle, is a trick-taking ace–ten card game, typically for two to four players and played with a 48-card deck. It is derived from the card game bezique; players score points by trick-taking and also by forming combinations of characters into melds. It is thus considered part of a "trick-and-meld" category which also includes the game belote. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. The standard game today is called "partnership auction pinochle". History Pinochle is thought to have two possible origins. One is that it is a cousin of Binokel, with both games evolving from the game of bezique. A second alternative is that pinochle actually developed from the Swiss and, later, South German game of Binocle or Binokel, which in turn is a descendant of bezique. The word pinochle has several different potential derivations. It may come from the French word ''binocle'' literally meaning "two eyes", or "eyeglasses" or ...
